NO PARTICULAR ORDER Comes to Esplanade in April
Performances run 1 & 2 April 2023.
By: Stephi Wild Mar. 30, 2023
A despot has come to power. The population is anxious, submissive and scared.
But beneath every violation of civil liberty, there are real human beings; behind every act of resistance, there is an individual willing to risk everything. And these people aren't heroic or remarkable - they're just like us.
Through a series of vignettes involving the lives of bureaucrats, soldiers, artists and tour guides, No Particular Order charts the fate of a society in turmoil to ask at every step of the way: is it empathy, or power, that endures?
Joel Tan's No Particular Order first debuted in May 2022 at London's Theatre503. Described as "startling and apocalyptic", the play was shortlisted for the Theatre503 International Playwriting Award as well as the 2022 George Devine Award. This performance marks its Singapore premiere.
A programme of TRIP-a platform to showcase work by early-career directors.
